Dinner and a Movie

Repeat
Various objects and materials including, a bicycle, a notebook, three crayons, a paper plate, three toys and an orange.  
Inspired by the movie We The Animals (2018)

Artist Statement: 
This assemblage explores the affects that living in an unstable and abusive household have on a child, especially the way such children express their emotions. The bicycle symbolizes the cycle of the abused becoming the abuser. The smashed orange on the plate represents the unstable home life. The crayons and toys are in three's because this story mainly follows the lives of three brothers. Lastly, the notebook is upside to show it's not suppose to be seen and its pages are ripped out to reflect mistrust and betrayal.

Gregor's Room "A visual response to the short story  The Metamorphosis  by Franz Kafka." White Copy Paper, Ink  Largest sculpture measures 8" x 6" x 3". Artist Statement:  The sculpture collection reflects my perception of the short story,  The Metamorphosis,  by Franz Kafka. Gregor refers to his reading table as his favorite piece of furniture before he metamorphosed so I felt this piece should be a warm and brighter color to emphasis his happier past.  This influenced my decision for the orange color.  The placement of the table isn't sturdy and the chair is fallen over because Gregor's sister took this furniture out of his room. The bed shape at the bottom starts out larger and brighter and continues to get smaller and darker to express how he used to have stability, but he slowly loses everything after his metamorphosis.
